WaferTech celebrates: National Bring Your Child To Work Day

April 24, 2008

Employees at WaferTech get excited about National Bring Your Child to Work Day. It’s the day all employees can bring their children to one of the largest semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the United States.

If you were there, you would have seen about 150 children listening intently to an engineer talk about “How WaferTech Makes Fun Things Fun” or you might have taken a walking tour with a technician to learn about the 1,000,000 square-foot integrated-circuit manufacturing facility located in Camas, WA. If you were lucky, you would have had your picture taken in a clean room gown – a gown just like many of their moms and dads wear every day.

“It is wonderful to see busy kids having fun and learning,” said Maria Petruzelli de Sanchez, who heads the WaferTech Employee Event Committee. “Our employees are great. After months of preparation to produce displays, videos, and presentations, we have created a great family day for our employees.”

The employees also had mock interview questions for the children. One question was, “Who is your hero?” The most frequent answer children gave? “Mom” or “Dad” - of course.
